Rudi got back in touch with me and discussed pricing and options.
As expected, my illness made prices higher than normal. Which is fine because it did not raise them too high for my goal. I had already accepted the fact that, given my current position, it would be unlikely I could start immediately to apply for cryonics. I plan to be in much better financial straits in a few years, which time will allow me to save up for initial fees and costs as well as continue researching the topic and my options.
Given the figures Rudi quoted me, and assuming my beliefs do not change in the next few years, I hope to be signed up when I start my next job. It’ll be a nice way to ring in the new life.
For anyone considering cryonics: if you are healthy, start now, not later. I’m lucky. My health scare was not debilitating, physically or financially (so far). You may not be so lucky when life tells you “so what.”
